Catch A Wave

August 27, 2004|By SAM MCDONALD Daily Press

For those who ride the waves of the Atlantic, the East Coast Surfing Championships at Virginia Beach represents a chance to mix, mingle and compete for $35,000 in cash prizes. For everybody else, it's a party that's, like, totally rad. Tonight at 8:30, Dada brings pop skills and guitar pyrotechnics to the event. Saturday night at 8:30, it's punk-pop from Lit. And Sunday at 7 p.m., David Lowery's trusty roots-rock group Cracker provides a finale. All the shows are free and take place directly on the beach near 4th Street. The ECSC also features a volleyball tournament, skateboarding and skimboarding competitions and more. For details, visit www.surfecsc.com or call 557-6140.
